Zekaraya 5
1 Ọzọkwa, eleliri m anya elu, ma hụ akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ nke na-efegharị efegharị.
Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.
2 Ọ sịrị m, “Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Azara m, “Ahụrụ m akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ nke na-efegharị efegharị. Ogologo ya dị mita iri, obosara ya dịkwa mita ise.”
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Ọ gwara m, “Nke a bụ ọbụbụ ọnụ nke na-apụ na-ejezu nʼala ahụ niile. Nʼihi na dịka e si detuo ya, nʼotu akụkụ ya, a ga-esi nʼala a chụpụ ndị na-ezu ohi. Dịka e si deekwa ya nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, onye ọ bụla na-aṅụ iyi ụgha ka a ga-esitekwa nʼala ahụ chụpụ.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be purged out on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be purged out on the other side according to it.
4 Ezipụla m ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri, ‘Ọ ga-abanye nʼụlọ onye ọ bụla na-ezu ohi, na nʼụlọ ndị ji aha m na-aṅụ iyi ụgha. Ọ ga-anọgide nʼụlọ ahụ mebie ya kpamkpam. Ọ ga-emebi osisi na nkume niile e ji wuo ụlọ ahụ.’”
I will cause it to go forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu bịakwutere m sị, “Lelie anya gị elu hụrụ ihe na-aga ịpụta ìhè.”
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 Asịrị m, “Gịnị ka ọ bụ?” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ nkata.” O kwukwara, “Nke a bụ mmehie nke ndị niile bi nʼala a.”
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance in all the land:
7 Ngwangwa, e kpughepụrụ okwuchi nkata ahụ, ma lee, ahụrụ m otu nwanyị nọdụrụ ọdụ nʼime ya.
(and behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: ) and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
8 Ọ sịrị, “Nke a bụ ajọ omume.” O nughachiri ya azụ nʼime nkata ahụ werekwa okwuchi nkata ahụ kpuchie ya.
And he said, This is Wickedness; and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah: and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Mgbe ahụ, eleliri m anya hụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ọzọ, ndị ikuku na-efe nku ha. Ha nwere nku dịka nku ụgbala. Ha buliri nkata ahụ elu nʼetiti eluigwe na ala.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Ebee ka ha bu nkata ahụ na-aga?”
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 Ọ gwara m, “Ha bu ya na-aga Babilọn ebe ha ga-ewuru ya ụlọ. Mgbe ha wuchara ụlọ ahụ, ha ga-adọba nkata ahụ nʼelu ihe ndọkwasị.”
And he said unto me, To build her an house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
